Dear Ann Landers,
ccording to you, the boy who gets a girl in trouble walks off free as a bird while she is left to face the rap, usually alone and disgraced. It's not always that pat. I got a girl pregnant but didn't marry her because it would have been a disaster for us both. She knew it as well as I. We were worlds apart-intellectually, socially, and financially. But to this day (four years have passed) my conscience bothers me and I often think about her and that little boy who was put up for adoption. It's not easy to go from day to day knowing that somewhere you have a child you'll never see. Believe me, I didn't get off easy, Ann. The price was high.-Still Paying

Dear Still,
Since you and the girl were "worlds apart intel-lectually, socially, and financially," it's too bad you didn't stay worlds apart physically. Of course you didn't get off easy. Why should you?

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
